Niger Seizes Fake Notes

Currency counterfeiting

Security forces in Niger have dismantled a counterfeiting operation, confiscating at least 270 million CFA francs (US$470,000; £244,000) in fake euro and dollar notes, state-owned television has reported. Officers who raided the site in Takieta, a town in the centre of the West African nation, also discovered counterfeit passports, car insurance papers and license plates, it reports.

BBC reports that the suspects fled before the security forces could arrest them, the report said.
